TORONTO (AP) -The NHL is investigating possible tampering by Toronto Maple Leafs coach Ron Wilson.
Wilson’s comments on radio about the team’s interest in Vancouver’s Daniel and Henrik Sedin has drawn the interest of the league, The Globe and Mail reported Tuesday.
“The league has indicated that they are looking into it, so we will have no public commentary at this time,” Leafs general manager Brian Burke told the newspaper.
Last Tuesday, less than 24 hours before the Sedins re-signed with the Canucks, Wilson told the Fan 590 in Toronto: “You’re hearing right now, and this sounds very contradictory, but there’s a real possibility, I would think, that we would be going after the Sedins. Let’s just speculate there.”
NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly refused to confirm a league investigation of the Leafs, but said the Canucks have not filed a complaint with the league.
